A snow day is a joy for school children and for Red Rocks specialties. Soon after I arrived at the trading post at 9 AM, other hardy birders joined the vigil. The Harris's Sparrow was the first "good" bird to appear, followed by other actors entering the stage - Golden-crowned Sparrow, Curve-billed Thrasher, and two White-throated Sparrows. At about 9:50 a swoop of Rosy-finches descended and fed patiently, providing good looks at all three species. Most were Gray-crowned, with a few Brown-capped and two Black Rosy-finches. This is a great spot to study both male and female House Sparrows too. Joe Roller, Denver
